An Admission

Blogging from across the Atlantic turned out to be more difficult than I foresaw. Not to confirm a stereotype, but having an unusually good and busy stretch of life is not conducive to good blogging. Barring unforeseen delay(s) Hoopinion will return to a normal schedule Wednesday night with a liveblog of Game 2 and the usual post-game content on Thursday.

Thanks to all who have read regularly this year for their patience with my ill-timed absence this past week. Special thanks to Ron and Bronn for carrying on and posting their Game 1 reactions in the comments of the previous post.

Hawks @ Heat

I'll be on the road tonight and tomorrow, unable to watch (or post commentary on) tonight's captivating tilt. Use the comments if you feel the need to, well, comment on anything crucial that occurs.

Salim Stoudamire's career high is 37. I'd love to see him take a run at that in (presumably) his final regular season game as a Hawk.
